CROWNS & COSTS

Dental crowns abroad can be cheaper than private treatment at home, but material labels, tooth preparation, laboratory quality and aftercare determine whether the saving is real.

Prices last checked: August 2026. Published overseas crown prices commonly vary from about £150 to £500 per tooth; complex preparation and premium materials cost more.

When is a crown appropriate?

A crown may restore a heavily filled, cracked, badly worn or root-treated tooth. It should not automatically replace a veneer or bonding on a healthy tooth. Ask for a tooth-by-tooth diagnosis and alternatives.

What can change the quote?

  • core build-up or post;
  • root-canal treatment;
  • temporary crown;
  • gum treatment or crown lengthening;
  • material and laboratory upgrade;
  • removal of an old crown.

How many visits?

Traditional crowns normally require preparation, temporary protection and later fitting. Same-day milling may shorten the process, but it does not remove the need for diagnosis, bite checks and review.

TRIP-PLANNING TOOL

Dental Treatment Recovery Calculator

Select every procedure planned for the same trip. The calculator uses the most conservative selected estimate, because combining treatments can extend recovery.

Which procedures are you considering?
Important: This is a general planning aid, not personalised medical clearance. Your dentist or surgeon must set your travel timetable after examining you. Complications, infection, sedation, multiple procedures and existing health conditions can require a longer stay. Seek urgent professional help for heavy bleeding, breathing or swallowing difficulty, rapidly increasing swelling, fever or severe uncontrolled pain.

  • Why does each tooth need full coverage?
  • How much healthy tissue will be removed?
  • Which exact material and laboratory are included?
  • Are temporary crowns and adjustments included?
